From the June, 2010 issue of Custom Classic Trucks

Being that the Ford has been in the family since Ike was in office, Darren and Raylund weren't about to change the look so drastically that it would be unrecognizable. However, mixing in a touch of the times was definitely in the cards. For starters, badges and emblems were left in 1955. Continuing on, they began filling body seams to carry on the new sleek and stylish look. When Darren's great-grandfather bought the truck new it was employed as an everyday piece of farm equipment, and so the bed wasn't in too good of shape. Therefore, a new Pro's Pick bed assembly was ordered and assembled. Along with the new bed came a roll pan and billet taillights. At this point, Raylund began massaging the Ford to showroom condition. When dad was finished, Darren stepped in and shot the Ford in a striking Sherwin-Williams Prowler Orange. Finishing off the look is a set of Budnik rims, 18x8 up front and 20x10 out back, wrapped in BFGoodrich rubber, 255/55s in the front and 265/50s in the rear.
